Kay:

I had my pre op today, and funny thing is, Doc

mentioned something about a lady who thought she had a

growth on her tongue shortly after surgery. She was

real worried about it. Turns out, after surgery they

have you drink some stuff that is like a liquid glue.

It binds to any raw or open skin. It's purpose is to

help close the pouch and anastamosis...added insurance

I guess. WEll, this lady must have had a small sore

spot on her tongue and didn't know it. And the glue

binded to it. If your spot is truly getting bigger, I

guess this couldn't be it. Anyway, he said it would

be there till the body replaced those skin cells the

glue had binded to...a few months. Maybe that is it?

If the white spot is sore, thoough, it could be

thrush.

Kay:

I have asthma and use a Q-Var inhaler (cortisone). After surgery I

guess I wasn't rinsing completely and got a mild case of thrush

(yeast) on my tongue. It was sorta white and red patterned, sore

and brushing it was uncomfortable. I think the same thing can

sometimes happen with some antibiotics so I also encourage you to

check with your doctor, because there are prescription lozenges

available to help clear it up if needed.

Good luck,

Sherri

Oh, Kay. I've had thrush, which looks like a white coating on your

tongue, and that's what it sounds like you have. (not fun at all!

If left unchecked it can cause a sore throat.) I suggest you call

the advice nurse ASAP or make an appointment with a doctor. Thrush

is actually a type of yeast infection in the mouth, but it is easily

cured. They have a losenge, a type of pill that you suck on until

it is absorbed in the mouth. I found it didn't taste too gross,

actually OK.

Also, congrads on the weight loss.

Thanks for the reply Sandi!

I feel better knowing what that is now. I will call on Monday and

get an appt.

The white stuff seems to be going away a bit and my throat isn't so

sore, but I want it gone for good. I was wondering it was that

carafate for awhile, since it turns things chalky when I have

dropped a little before.

I wonder how that yeast gets up there? I have never had a yeast

infection before.

Thanks again for the reply and the congrats on the weight loss.

Yesterday was a great day! I worked out my " normal " excercise

rountine finally and went into the weight room too. Boy was I full

of energy afer that!

Hope you are having a good weekend?

Thanks for your responses, Laurie and La Wanda,

I have since been checking the back of my tongue and that stuff seems

to have gone away. I don't remember drinking anything that was

glueish? But I could have, I was pretty out of it and everything they

gave me I did drink. So who knows?

At least that stuff is going away on my tongue by itself. Whew.

I am back to work today and I already feel tired. I have a 40 minute

drive and it wore me out.

Did anyone else have problems with driving after surgery?

Thanks again for the reply!

I remember my tongue being white also after surgery. My throat also

was given ice water to drink.
